You were the one when we were young
And I never thought I'd see you again
But here you are, you haven't changed at all
And it feels just like it did when we first began

Same town, same roads
I know the streets you grew up on
We were the first of all our friends to fall in love

I know I never should have let you go
I was young and dumb, and I messed it all up bad
You tell me that it's too late now
'Cause there's somebody new around
But what we've got is the one thing you'll never have
We go back
Ooh, we go back

Remember the lake, our summer escape
You lost the keys to your '88 Jeep
And we had to walk back home
Look at us now, out on the town
Looking for something or someone or somewhere we belong

Same town, same roads
I know the streets you grew up on
We were the first of all our friends to fall in love, oh

I know I never should have let you go
I was young and dumb, and I messed it all up bad
You tell me that it's too late now
'Cause there's somebody new around
But what we've got is the one thing you'll never have
We go back

Like a 1970 Cadillac
We go back
All the days and months and years that could've been
I still want you now like I wanted you way back then

I know I never should have let you go
(Never let you go)
I was young and dumb, and I messed it all up bad
(You tell me that it's too late)
You tell me that it's too late now
'Cause there's somebody new around
(New around)
But what we've got is the one thing you'll never have
(You'll never have, baby)
We go back
(We go back, we go back, we go back like a Cadillac)
Ooh, we go back
(We go back, we go back like a 1970 Cadillac)
Like a 1970 Cadillac
(We go back, we go back, we go back like a Cadillac)
We go back
(We go back, we go back)
